er applicable regulations. Incorrect use of
the boiler might result in reducing its life,
but also in damages to health and prop-
erty.
Starting the boiler up
The boiler the functioning of which has al-
ready been verified by the first live test is
started up as follows:
– Set the heating water operating tempe-
rature control to approximately 2/3 of its
full range. You will set it to the required
temperature later. The heating water
temperature has an impact on the hea-
ting speed of the UHW reservoir.
– . If the boiler works in conjunction with
an indirectly heated UHW reservoir, set
the reservoir temperature to approxima-
tely ½ or its full range.
– . Check the water pressure on the boi-
ler’s pressure gauge. When the water is
cold, the pressure must not be lower
than indicated (by the pressure gauge
red hand – set by authorised service du-
ring the first live test run).
– If the boiler is controlled by either an
equithermal or room heating control
unit, set it in accordance with the devi-
ce’s operating instructions.
– Set the power mains switch to the ON
position (I). The boiler will ignite itself
and start heating the water in the UHW
reservoir (if one is installed). When it
has been heated up, the boiler starts
heating the heating system water. If your
boiler is equipped with an RVA 43.222
equithermal control unit, this function is
achieved by selecting the WINTER
mode.
The boiler switches off:
– when heating the UHW, always when
the UHW temperature reaches the va-
lue set on the UHW reservoir thermo-
stat,
– when the heating system water tempe-
rature in the boiler reaches the values
set on the operating heating water ther-
mostat,
– when the required temperature set on
the room or equithermal control unit has
been reached.
If the boiler fails to start up and the emer-
gency state control light is not on, it is
an operating shutdown described above.
After the heating water and UHW have
cooled down and the temperature in the
room dropped, the boiler will automatically
start up.
If the boiler does not start up even after a
longer period of time and does not react to
increasing the set values on the operating
controls or other control elements (room
and equithermal control unit), the problem
is in the boiler, and it is necessary to call
authorised service.
If the boiler has not started up and the
emergency state control light is on, pro-
ceed in accordance with the instructions
in Description and Functions of Control
Elements.
Boiler shutdown
If you wish to shut the boiler down for a
short while, use the power mains switch. If
you want to shut the boiler for longer, pull
out the power cord plug out of the socket
and shut off gas supply to the boiler. If
there is no danger of the boiler freezing,
leave the water in, otherwise drain the wa-
ter from the boiler, from the UHW reser-
voir and from the system.
Provided the heating system configuration
allows it, when dismantling the boiler drain
the water from the boiler only and leave
it in the heating system to prevent it from
corroding.
We recommend that once a year, prefer-
ably before the start of a new heating sea-
son, you have the boiler inspected by an
authorised service. This inspection is not
part of warranty. Things to be inspected
are specified in the Service Book.
Mostly it is checking the functions and
condition of the burner, checking and ad-
justing the output, checking for leaks in the
flue joints (and if necessary sealing them)
and then – if necessary – also cleaning
the burner jets (caution – their interior
must not be damaged!) and cleaning the
boiler’s heat exchanger.
Particularly important is to check the func-
tioning of the emergency and combustion
fumes thermostat. This inspection is also
carried out whenever these components
are serviced.
Maintenance performed by the user
a) Clean the boiler covers as needed,
without removing the top cover. Before
you start cleaning the boiler, disconnect if
from power mains and pull the power cord
plug from the socket. If the boiler surface
is wet, wait until it dries before reconnect-
ing it.
b) Once a week check water pressure in
the heating system and if necessary top up
the water. Water in the heating system can
be topped up only after the temperature of
the water in the boiler has dropped below
40°C (measured on the boiler’s thermom-
eter). Failing to abide by this requirement
may result in damaging the boiler’s block.
c) Check the combustion fumes ducting
for leaks.
d) When discovering any gas leak, shut
the boiler down, shut the gas valve off and
call authorised service.
e) Check and clean the filter and the
sludge trap:
– straight after the first live test run,
– after the first week of operation,
– regularly once a week or at least
once a quarter, depending on the de-
gree of clogging.
Maintenance
Compliance with the requirements on boilers
Compliance of the boiler’s properties are
guaranteed and checked during the man-
ufacturing process by a Quality Control
System which, as confirmed by Certificate
BVQI No. 69097 dated 17 May 2000, meet
the BSN EN ISO 9001:1994 quality stand-
ard.
Services of a sustained standard for in-
stallations and putting the boilers into
operation, warranty and post-warranty
service, are provided through authorised
contracted service organisations of nec-
essary technical qualification and know-
how (see point X).
The boiler must be used exclusively in
accordance with these Operating Instruc-
tions and the accompanying documenta-
tion. Whenever you have any doubts or
insufficient information, or if you feel you
didn’t fully understand the instructions, or
if you suspect any unauthorised interfer-
ence with the configuration and function-
ing of the boiler, always contact author-
ised service.
